The aim of the Top Young Performers series is to give visibility and a platform to a select number of up-and-coming prominent performers at the start of their international careers, who deserve EBU radio organizations support. It includes instrumentalists and singers internationally relevant and diverse, with a maximum age of +/- 30 years old. More details are available in the Euroradio Top Young Performers Series Guidelines.

Euroradio Events

These are the Christmas Music Day, in which specially themed concerts are curated and sequenced for broadcast ahead of Christmas, and the Holy Week Music Series.

In years featuring major anniversaries or other significant events, like the Beethoven 250 celebrations, special one-off series are also created.
